We know that that Vitamin D is lower in the northern states like MN. It is a known fact that cancer rates are higher. Life Extension has a great article by Logan Brownwell this month on the topic.

This is the month of getting Vitamin from the sun, our diet and adequate supplements if we are deficient.

Did you know that vitamin D once ingested or produced in the skin, the liver and kidneys converts to vitamin D3? Our body is full of these receptors. The question is: Do we have enough Vitamin D? Is it a vitamin or a hormone like vitamin?

Why do we need vitamin D? We need it for our brain cells, fat tissues, and heart muscles. It regulates genes that control cell growth, the immune function and even our metabolism.

There have been a lot of studies on this essential hormone. Low levels are associated with cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular and even neurological diseases.

A typical level is 50 ng/ML. I was very deficient at one time, then I started taking high doses, which can be dangerous too. I got my level to the correct amount.

Wouldn’t it be cool if they started to test people for vitamin D3? It is different than D2. Remediation maybe could prevent cancer or other diseases.
